Ear Injuries

The growth of emergencies, increased traffic and overall technological progress led to an increase in the number of traumatic injuries, including the organ of hearing. The lack of information on the structure and prevalence of traumatic injuries of the organ of hearing makes it difficult to plan and increase the effectiveness of the organization of specialized care for such victims. To study the prevalence and structure of traumatic injuries of the hearing organ in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, the medical records of patients with various ear injuries who were treated in the departments of the Karachay-Cherkess Republican Clinical Hospital over the past three years were analyzed. The prevalence of traumatic injuries of the organ of hearing and its structure was determined according to the data of hospitals of the republican hospital. There was a tendency toward an increase in patients with ear injuries in all age groups. Maintaining the predominance of mechanical trauma, with an increase in the number of victims with baro- and acoustic trauma. The features of damage to the structures of the organ of hearing are examined and it is emphasized that the mechanism of trauma determines the tactics of the victim. The scale of hearing injuries and their consequences require a more in-depth study of their regional characteristics, risk factors to develop all possible preventive measures.

Lack Of Information

Background: Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is the world 2nd death cause and the main cause of disability. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information regarding the mortality profile for this etiology in the last decade. Objective and Methods: Using prospectively collected data available in TabNet (DataSUS) platform, a descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted. The primary objective is to access the demographic information most associated with DCV mortality in individuals older than 50 years-old, in São Paulo (SP), from 2010 to 2019. Results: The highest mortality in the state of SP was in 2019 (16,945 deaths), according to the growing trend; in the 2010-2019 period, the annual mean by city of deaths (± standard deviation [SD]) was 14,885 (± 1,341). During these years, the number of deaths was higher in the municipality of São Paulo (57,013; 31%). The annual mean deaths (± SD) in the capital and in the interior cities were, respectively: 4,684 (± 269) and 31 (± 58). The age groups from 70 to 79 years and over 80 years were the most affected. Caucasian race represents 71% of deaths. Individuals with 1 to 3 years of school were more affected (38%). The ratio of male deaths to female deaths was 1.02. Conclusion: In the last decade, there was an increasing mortality by CVD among the elderly population, and the city of São Paulo leads the number of cases.

Infants And Young Children

Infants and young children are a vulnerable group with regard to nutrition. However, there is a lack of information about the dietary composition of healthy German infants and children. Therefore, the intake of vitamins (A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, folate, niacin) was assessed in 354 healthy German infants and children aged 3 to 36 months from 3-day-weighed diet records and compared with German, European and US reference values. Intake of all B-vitamins (B1, B2, B6, folate, niacin) increased during the first 3 years of life, whereas intake of vitamin E decreased. Intake of vitamin A and C varied between age groups. The highest levels of the nutrient densities of most vitamins were found at the end of the first year of life. Depending on the reference values chosen, the vitamin supply of the study population ranged between sufficient and very good. The reported satisfactory intake of vitamins in infants and young children in this study gives rise to the question of whether the current extent of fortification of commercial infant food in Germany is necessary.

Prehospital Emergency

Traumatic injuries still constitute one of the leading causes of death in all age groups. Emergency thoracotomy is a procedure carried out in patients presenting in extremis. The primary goals are the control of massive hemorrhage, the release of cardiac tamponade, the internal or open cardiac massage, the prevention or control of air embolism, the control of bronchopleural fistulae and the cross-clamping of descending aorta. Although the usefulness of prehospital emergency thoracotomy remains controversial and specific guidelines are lacking, when faced with no alternative, it can be a lifesaving procedure. A comprehensive search for relevant studies was performed from 1975 to the present. An algorithm is proposed to assist physicians in deciding when to perform on scene thoracotomy.

Abstract In Brazil, there are few studies and information available on consumer preferences for peaches and nectarines. This lack of information, has hindered some aspects of the production chain, as the choice and exploitation of more appropriate cultivars, offer periods, adoption of marketing and marketing strategies, consequently affecting the availability and commercialization of fruits. This study aimed to analyze the consumer preference of peaches and nectarines, evaluate the traits observed for their acquisition, and the marketplace where they are preferably purchased. The research was carried out from November 2016 to February 2017, using the descriptive research methodology, by Survey method and Web 2.0. A structured questionnaire was applied with closed questions. An online form questionnaire was prepared using the Google docs application and also distributed online, through the internet social Medias. 610 people participated in the survey, with predominance of consumers living in the South and Southeast regions of the country, in the age groups of 21 to 30 years old, with a predominance of female participants. Consumption is mainly in the in natura form, and often predominates certain times a year. Consumers buy these fruits mainly in the supermarkets/hypermarkets. The consumers of peaches and nectarines in Brazil have a higher preference for fruits with yellow flesh and red epidermis, followed by fruits with white flesh and intense red epidermis, both preferably with free stone. The main criteria for the acquisition of peaches and nectarines in Brazil are fruit appearance (presence and/or absence of defects, bruises, etc.); followed by price, color of epidermis and fruit size.

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are spending more and more time in front of the computer, using applications developed for general practitioners, specialized care, or perhaps an integrated hospital system. The data they handle during healing and patient care are mostly sensitive data and, therefore, their management is strictly regulated. Finding our way in the jungle of laws, regulations and policies is not simple. Notwithstanding, our lack of information does not waive our responsibility. This study summarizes the most important points of international recommendations, standards and legal regulations of the field, as well as giving practical advices for managing medical and patient data securely and in compliance with the current legal regulations.

Pharmacologic Agents

Children sadly have been excluded from some of the therapeutic advances that have marked pharmaceutical drug development during the past 100 years. Most drugs in use today lack Food and Drug Administration approval for use in children or are restricted to certain pediatric age groups, predominately older than 12 years. Only a few of the new drugs approved each year have pediatric indications and dosing guidelines described in the drug labeling information. However, many of these drugs are used in children. The lack of suitable information places children at risk for over- or underdosing, and there is a lack of suitable dosage forms, which can result in improper drug administration. This lack of information on the safe and effective use of drugs in the most vulnerable patients—infants and neonates—is of greatest concern. Recent changes in the regulations that govern drug development has dramatically increased the number of drugs that undergo testing in children. This article reviews new laws that govern drug testing in children and the use of children in therapeutic research.

Postural Disorders

Introduction. In recent years, there has been a signifi cant increase in number and severity of spinal pathologies among the adult population of the Russian Federation. From 80 to 100 % of the adult population experience pain of different intensity in different parts of the spine after sitting for a long time. Modern treatment of patients with postural disorders does not always lead to positive results. In some cases it even causes progression of the disease. As a general rule, the existing methods of treatment do not take into account the concept of the integrity of the human body, which is fundamental for osteopathic treatment.Goal of research - to determine the incidence of somatic dysfunctions in patients of different age groups with postural disorders and to develop recommendations in order to optimize osteopathic correction taking into account patients’ age and type of postural disorder.Materials and methods. The study of the osteopathic status of patients of 3 age groups from 6 to 16 years, from 17 to 26 years and from 27 to 55 years was performed. The type of postural disorder in accordance with Stoffel classifi cation rules was determined with the use of computer optical tomography. Results. The study shows the infl uence of traumatic injuries on the formation of various types of postural disorders as well as the structure of the osteopathic status depending on the age and types of postural disorders.Conclusion. The analysis of the medical history data allowed to assume that traumatic impact may induce formation of various types of postural disorders. Patients’ age infl uences the structure of the dominant somatic dysfunctions. The incidence of somatic dysfunctions depends on the type of postural disorder.

Until 1985, epidemiological studies in The Netherlands were focused on school-age children. Up to that year, few caries prevalence data for (young) adults in selected groups were available. In 1986, the first National Dental Survey of the adult population was carried out in The Netherlands. Lack of information made it impossible for trends in dental caries in adults to be studied on a scientific basis. However, with use of cross-sectional studies conducted on selected adult populations between 1970 and 1989, an indication of a trend in dental caries is described. Evident changes in the age-specific average DMFT scores took place in the younger age groups. In the older age groups, the average DMFT score has not changed. Changes in percentages of edentates in the period 1980-1990 probably reflect part of the changes in oral health status of Dutch adults.

Abnormal oral manipulation, such as tail-, ear-, and flank-biting are among the most serious behaviour problems in modern pig husbandry. They not only affect the welfare of animals, but also have economic consequences. The prevalence of tail-, ear-, and flank-bite damage was estimated in a 1200 sow farrow-to-finish commercial farm in Hungary were pigs grouped by age. A total of 16,023 individuals were observed, of which 4,679 were housed in the batteries and 11,344 were housed in the fattening barns. In the batteries, the prevalence of tail-bitten and ear-bitten piglets in the different age groups ranged from 2.6 to 15.18%, 10.77 to 56.87%, respectively. The likelihood of tail injuries increased with the age of the animals, while the likelihood of ear injuries gradually decreased with piglet?s age. No flank injuries were observed in piglets from the batteries. In the fattening barns, the prevalence of tail and ear injuries in the different age groups was between 2.73 and 6.1%, and between 3.38 and 58.16%, respectively. Flank biting appeared only in older animals, from 156 days of age, at a much lower frequency (1.96 to 3.26%) than the other injuries studied. Some elements of the housing and feeding technology applied in this farm could enhance the occurrence of abnormal oral bite behaviour in pigs. Changing from wet to granulate feed and replacing the grid flooring with solid flooring covered with straw litter could lead to a decline in the incidence of biting.

Knee Contracture

Traumatic injuries to the knee are frequently complicated by extension contractures. The Judet Quadricepsplasty allows for controlled, sequential release of extrinsic and intrinsic knee contracture components while reducing the potential for iatrogenic quadriceps rupture. We document our institutions experience with this procedure and a systematic review of the current literature. We followed up on an elderly patient with posttraumatic flexion contracture that failed conservative management and underwent Judet Quadricepsplasty. Her knee range of motion improve dramatically from 20 degrees of flexion to 100 degrees of flexion. There was a residual extension lag of 5 degrees which did not impede on the patients daily activities. A review of the literature was performed and relevant data from 12 articles was extracted. The procedure was mainly performed in young adult males in most previous studies and the range of motion improvement ranged from 51° to 110°. Wound infections were the most common complication but otherwise other complications and severe extension lag were rare. The Judet Quadricepsplasty is a useful procedure for severe extension knee contractures that has failed conservative management in all age groups of patients. It is associated with significant increases in range of motion with low rates of complication or extension lag. Diagnostic IV
